Matador Picks

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Nope, they still sell 'em. http://www.multipick-service.com/en/tools/picksets-200_en.htm (scroll all the way down)

Thanks, man those are expensive I don't know what 140 euros is in dollars, but since the euro is now worth more it can't be pretty

I didn't really look at the price but...
€129.90... ouch
and it only includes 3 picks. I'm sure you could find some cheap elsewhere.

matador picks

i know this is an old thread but, i came across this picture of matador picks on my travels through cyberspace. nothing but a lock and case for scale comparison, but i felt i should share it with you guys. it show a good shot for reference when making your own matadors using the method found on this thread: viewtopic.php?t=2980&start=15 i know this chinese site has been discussed before, so i won't bore anyone with details. i just figured that this picture from this site belongs on this thread.

I have good success picking KABA gemini & quattro locks with a large half diamond.

I've made some Matador picks from wiperblade inserts which work well on regular dimple locks but I haven't had any success using them in KABA locks.

just my 0,02€
